Multitple Home Xbox?

Why is it after 15 years of xbox we can't have multiple home accounts? There are three people in my family and multiple locations to watch television. My son has to move based on where my wife decides to watch TV on any given day. I bought an xbox one
x thinking this would fix the problem, only to learn you can only have one home xbox. This makes me miss the days of $100 family accounts from the 360 days. How can you fix this?

Playstation Home

Does any even bother to play Home on the Playstation it was made to be like the Wii's Mii community but in my opinion it was horrible. So whats your opinion on it weather you use to play it still play it.

People are abusing the home console feature as it is so I doubt they'll change it so you can have more than one home console at a time.

All you can do is post any ideas/suggestions you have on the feedback site

I am not sure I understand what you are trying todo. We too have 3 XO's, would be nice if they had a FAMILY sharing like APPLE that permitted our purchases to be played by everyone in the family. Hard to complain when S and N do not offer SQUAT to save me
$$$ when purchasing games. Christmas is full of buying the same title multiple times on other platforms. Currently my son's XO is the home and all purchases are made on his console WITH my XBL account. So everyone on his console can play all of our games and
then on my XO I just need to be logged into my account to play the same titles. DRM has acted in this exact same manner since the launch of then 360.

We have three Xbox One consoles in the house. The main problem with the whole "HOME XBOX" thing is that other accounts can't access downloaded games unless they use the person's account that purchased them. This is one reason why I refuse to buy "digital
copies" rather than physical discs. I bought the game but only the one account that I bought it with can use it outside of my home Xbox. That (to me) is ridiculous. Buy a physical copy that is COMPLETELY non-reliant on who purchased it, how or where. Pull
it off the shelf, put it in any Xbox and regardless of who you are, it plays. Home Xbox is now a moot issue.

The profiles on the xbox ones that are not set as your home xbox can still play under their profiles they just have to have your account signed in at the same time.

the problem with that is since you can only be signed into one xbox one console at a time you would not be able to sign into another console and play with them at the same time because it will sign you out of their console and kick them off any game or gold
feature that is associated with your account.

Yeah, I know. In fact I edited and wrote a whole other paragraph about just that. Unfortunately, it never showed up. This board software is garbage.
